Shabby chic is the perfect way to describe the vibe of this Spring wedding in Hamilton, New Jersey. Leah and Tim chose the picturesque Sayen Gardens for their wedding venue and the day went off without a hitch!
Every last detail was picture perfect, from the weather to the personalized details and most importantly... the lovely couple. They are a very casual, fun, loving couple and they planned an intimate wedding with only...

Featured Two Bright Lights wedding by Jennifer Weems Photography
Kensley & Jim are clearly a beautiful couple. But they proved to be extremely brave, too, planning a late July wedding in hot, steamy Phoenix, AZ. Their semi-traditional LDS wedding ceremony took place in the morning, and then the wedding reception fun commenced later in the day at a picturesque private residence.
The reception venue provided the perfect backdrop for Kensley & Jim's wedding vibe and color palette. ...

Erik & Nancy exchanged vows at the NJ State Museum, and it was one of the most intimate wedding ceremonies I've witnessed. Once they said I Do, the celebration continued at the Mariott Hotel in Trenton where everyone, and I do mean everyone, started busting out their dance moves. Before the big day, the couple created one of the best reception music play lists I've ever heard.;which makes sense, as Erik and Nancy are musicians, and play...

Featured Wedding by Reminisce Studio by Miranda & Adam
This Wisconsin wedding was simply adorable. The young, beautiful couple knew exactly what they wanted, and pulled it off with style and grace. The wedding vibe was the perfect mix of classic and modern. Classic elements like the traditional ceremony church, simple and chic wedding day attire (the bride in a white straplessa-linewedding dress, the groom in a classic black tux), and an all-white Gerbera daisy bridal bouquet,...

For All You Sports Fans Out There…
I’m a Chicago sports fan through and through. And if there’s ever a Chicago team competing, you better believe I’ll be rooting for my home team. But, just as a New Yorker wouldn’t dare question the skill of the great Air Jordan, I can’t deny crazy talent when I see it. And, in my mind, Kobe Bryant is the best around (along with Lebron and D. Wade… impressed with my basketball knowledge, yet?). Watching Kobe and the Lakers dominate...

Megan and Justin tied the knot on April 10th in Newport Beach, CA. The happy couple, who hail from Idaho, were an absolute pleasure to work with. As you’ll notice from the wedding photos, this couple is anything but ordinary! Their quirky personalities and lighthearted humor were infused throughout the special day; the groom donned a casual grey suit and sunny yellow boutonniere, the delectable wedding cupcakes were piled high with...

According to the experts (and included in our Top Trends for 2010), brides will be kicking off their 4" heels, letting their hair down, and planningdown home weddings that are long on comfort and charm throughout 2010. You've gotta love the move toward rustic chic affairs, where mom and dad's backyard, or an old barn, are the perfect wedding venues.
I adore the freedom this type of wedding offers brides and grooms- as you start with a blank canvas of natural beauty, and dress it up...

Happy Monday!
Ever since we started our Dessy-Pantone Style Board Challenge I've been obsessed with color palettes and how Dessy makes finding colors that work together easy.
But, last week I got a new iphone, and now I have a new obsession, figuring out how to turn it into a bride's best friend. Here's one way, the Pantone Wedding app! You can use it to help you come up with the perfect color palette, and share that palette with your groom,bridesmaids, florist, or other wedding...

It was tough (to say the least) to select the winner of our December Dessy-Pantone Style Board Challenge! There were so many fabulous boards submitted, and it was clear that our brides-to-be got much more savvy with the Dessy style board tool this month.
There was one board that stood out, because of its creativity, attention to detail, and fun, vibrant theme! The winning board was submitted by Nicole B, and had a rad Beatles-theme going on! Below is a little description from our...
